Pugsley World Championships -- Saturday, March 7, 2015

The 5th Anniversary installment of the Pugsley World Championships... A World Class cycling event!

Pugsley Worlds is a Free Will Donation event with NO Pre-Registration
required. How cool is that? AND, so that a TRUE WORLD CHAMPION can be
crowned, we have an OPEN FIELD, no limits (in SO many ways)! Please
indicate if you plan to attend by "Going" on Facebook. "Maybe" is good
too... "Going" is better!

Depending on race day conditions, the course may be a combination of gravel roads, paved
trails, snowmobile trails and single track. It may vary in length from
30-plus miles (on gravel) to something less than that if single track
conditions are favorable. Our preference is for single track racing as
Decorah has the best single track in the upper Midwest. The race
directors will set the course the day ahead of the race. Race directors
say, "Plan for tough."

Registration at the Courtyard and Cellar from 9:00 a.m. until 10:30 a.m.

Racers roll out to the start line from the Courtyard at 10:45. Race start at 11:00 a.m.

First Place Open Race takes home $501.00 in cold hard cash and the coveted Golden Axe Trophy.

Additional prizes totaling more than $501.00 for Men and Women are
guaranteed. In fact, We'll be giving away more than 1,002.00 in cash and
prizes willy-nilly! It'll be seriously crazy.

Any bike can participate, HOWEVER - Only bikes with tires size 3.5 and larger are eligible to win and place.

Post-Race awards ceremony will commence at the Cellar when the last
rider is in. The all-important Pugsley World Championship "Feats of
Strength" follow the race awards. You should stick around for those.

Rules are the same. You can ride whatever bike you want, however only Fat-Bikes are eligible to win. Any Fat-Bike, obviously your Pugsleys, but also your 9:ZERO:7s, your MuckLucks, FatBacks, NorthPaws, Moonlanders, Tatankas, Salamaders, Huskerdus, Huskerdonts with or with out the whistle stick... get the idea?

Probably not Krampus... those things are too scary

Registration and post race celebration will be held at the Decorah Elks Lodge.

More information about the course. It might be Snow. It might be Ice. It might be Mud. We didn't call this thing a Snow Race. We didn't call this thing an Ice Race. We didn't call this thing a Mud Race. Hell, we didn't even call it a Bike Race. It a Pugsley Event.

And a good thing it is a Pugsley Event. Because it might be muddy. It might be snowy. It might be Icy. If that doesn't sound fun, please stay home. Any whiners will be beaten with the trophy.

A little history of how this thing started. Me and a couple of buddies were riding around one lovely afternoon and decided to go off trail and check out a new area. 2 of us were riding Pugsleys, the other a regular single speed rigid. He was impressed with the capability of the Pugsleys. He asked "Why isn't there a Pugsley World Championship?" I said "I dunno." He said "Make that happen Reyerson." I said "Ok".

Race starts at 10:30. Registration will be day of. Registration place is to be determined.
